I have to say I was disappointed by this book. I love Julie Garwood and she is a wonderful author but this just didn't pass muster. The story it self was just fine, it's the characters that bugged me to no end. The way the characters were written was very confusing because at the beginning you are miss lead that the heroine is a strong and independent woman who is capable and smart, yet a few chapters later and a few conversations with her and all those descriptions are tossed out the window and instead we have a frightful little mouse who cant string a few sentences together with out sounding like an idiot. As for the hero all i can say is that he is a bipolar who gets turned on when his wife is shaking in fear of him. how sexy. NOT!! All those character flaws prevented me from enjoying the book. So all in all I'm very disappointed. The book had great potential.

boemum That is very interesting. I LOVE almost everything Julie writes. Can't say this is one of my favorites. I just kind of took her behavior as an act. She pretends to be ignorant so he'll take it easy on her. I think it was the Scottish caretaker's idea. (ugh I can't remember his name) Anyway, I can totally see your point of view. I cannot stand wimpy female leads; or whinny. And that whole pushy sex when she trembles is spot on! Not sexy, I agree:)

Deb Someone WHO AGREES WITH ME! I was appalled by the characters in this book. The characters sounded so sappy and whimpy. Especially when at the end of every sentence she says "ALEC." Does she need to say his name constantly. I am the reader and I know who she is talking to…I was irritated by the dialog between the characters. I had a rough time finishing it.


Alienor ✘ French Frowner ✘ Wow! I just dnfed it after 15% because I wasn't feeling the whole "buying" the girl but I'm happy I did! Great review!
